RMA Presents: “The WWII Art & Letters of John Cullen Murphy”

John Cullen Murphy was an aspiring artist just out of art school when he entered basic training in 1941 in preparation for assignments in the Pacific theater of WWII. Murphy rose from private to major, painting portraits of numerous officers including General MacArthur, not only performing his duties as an anti-aircraft spotter, but also practicing his skills as a talented sketch artist. His numerous letters and sketches, posters, and portraits of soldiers from infantrymen to generals have been preserved and are a primary information source valuable to historians, researchers, documentarians, writers, and museums.
